Title: Acknowledgement message monitoring
Inventor: SCOTT PHILIP ANTHONY
IPC: H04L12/24
Filed: 2012-08-21
Abstract: A system and method for monitoring a handshaking exchange between a call initiator and a call recipient to determine if handshaking has failed, to avoid repeated failed calls between the call initiator and the call recipient. In particular a call initialisation message S6 is sent by an initiator to a recipient. In response the recipient sends a response message S7. In response to the response message the call initiator sends an acknowledgment message to the recipient S8 as is typical. However, if the acknowledgement is not received by the recipient, the recipient sends a further response message S9 and in response to the further response message the call initiator sends a further acknowledgment message S10. A fault condition is determined to have occurred after the call initiator has received a predetermined number of further response messages. For an embodiment wherein Session Initiation Protocol, SIP, is used the call initiation message is a SIP INVITE message, the response message is a SIP 200 OK message and the acknowledgement message is a SIP ACK message. Upon identification of the fault condition the call initiator may determine that the IP address associated with the identifier included in the further response message(s) to be invalid and clears the invalid IP address from e.g. its DNS cache. A new address may be found if no other address is present in the cache e.g. using DSNS look-up and used for a new initialization message S11.

Inventor: SAWYERS THOMAS P
IPC: G06F1/26
Filed: 2010-08-04
Abstract: Electronic circuits are provided for use with various electrical adapters. Two resistors define a voltage divider circuit. One or more resistors are coupled in parallel arrangement with the voltage divider by way of controlled switching. A voltage present within the voltage divider is converted into a digital signal, which is used to determine a power rating for the respective electrical adapter. The power rating is used to control normal operations of a computer or other device. The electrical adapter can optionally include a second resistor that is switched into parallel circuit arrangement with a first resistor during the power rating determination process.

The readout circuit of a pixel in a first line in the array and the readout circuit of a pixel in a second line in the array are disposed between the photoelectric converter of the pixel in the first line and the photoelectric converter of the pixel in the second line. Directions of currents respectively flowing through the group of transistors in the readout circuit of the pixel in the first line and the group of transistors in the readout circuit of the pixel in the second line are the same. As the direction of current flow in the group of transistors in each pixel is the same the relationship between the current flow direction and an ion implantation angle will be the same for each pixel thus reducing the generation fixed pattern noise within the pixel array.

Title: Method and apparatus for compressing and decompressing data
Inventor: FENNEY SIMON
IPC: G06T15/04
Filed: 2011-12-20
Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for compressing and decompressing image data by producing two sets of reduced size image data and generating a modulation value for each elementary of the area from the image data, the modulation value encoding information about how to combine the sets of reduced size image data to generate an approximation to the image. In one arrangement, a set of index values is generated corresponding to a set of modulation values for each of the respective elementary areas of a group of elementary areas and these are assigned to each respective group and a second set of index values corresponding to one of the set of first index values for each elementary areas is assigned to each first group of elementary areas. These index values are then stored for use in deriving modulation data more accurately when decompressing the image data. In another arrangement a modulation mode is selected which includes a plurality of modulation values and one of the modulation values is assigned to each elementary area in each block of elementary areas of the image for use in recombining the reduced size image data to generate an approximation to the image. The modulation value is selected with a plurality of bits of index data for each elementary area. In another arrangement, a modulation from a set of possible modulation values is assigned to each elementary area in a group of elementary areas and is represented by a plurality of bits of modulation data. This arrangement is varied by providing modulation values which relate to each alternate elementary area and then either interpolating modulation values vertically or horizontally for each other elementary area or by interpolating either vertically or horizontally image data once sets of reduced sized image data have been recombined with the modulation data. The choice of vertical or horizontal interpolation is made on the basis of a flag which each element of one of the sets of data.
